We went swimming today! Today was Blair's first trip to the pool. She loved it. She played and played and kicked and played. Brad had to work, but he would have been so proud. She kicked her little feet as hard as she could under that float. When Brad plays with Blair, he plays with her little feet. He tells her, "Kick your feet. That's the only way to get to the other side!" Like she needs any instruction. This child's feet don't ever stop moving!

After a swim in the pool, we stopped by the house, loaded up the dogs, and went out to the pond for a quick dip and some doggy laps. All I have to say is poor Gus. He can't swim as fast as Buddy, so he never gets the stick. Here he is still headed out, and Buddy has already gotten the stick and turned to come back.

Too cute! Abby went swimming for the first time yesterday. It was a little chilly so she only did a quick lap :) We'll have to try again as the water gets warmer!Love the pics of the doggies. Gus is like my old dog Brody...he never got the stick! Hope y'all have a great summer..looks like it's starting out just right!

Brad is my husband of 6 years and the reason I live across the branch. From a very young age he knew he'd be a farmer. God gave him the love and the talent -- and he's the best looking and the best dressed farmer I know! He's funny, creative, and he's the most wonderful husband and father. He's the one that can make Blair light up like no other.

Blair is four! We are so blessed to have her. She was born very sick, but God gave her strength and brought her through it. She has hearing loss called Auditory Neuropathy and wears hearing aids. She also has chronic lung disease, but you wouldn't know by seeing her! She is the busiest, funniest little thing who keeps us laughing and on our toes. I thank God for her every day.

Leighton is the happy roly poly who joined our family this summer. He has been a joy and is as sweet as his big sister! He's such a blessing, and we're so thankful for him!
